On May 2, 2011, Riverbank Hydro No. 13 LLC (Riverbank), and on May 3, 2011, Lock Hydro Friends Fund XXXIV (Lock Hydro), and FFP Project 55 LLC (FFP 55) filed preliminary permit applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Kentucky River Lock & Dam No. 6, located on the Kentucky River, in Mercer and Woodford Counties, Kentucky. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term.

Riverbank's Project No. 14168-000 would consist of: (1) A forebay; (2) an intake structure; (3) a powerhouse containing one generating unit with a total capacity of 9.0 megawatts (MW); (4) a tailrace structure; and (5) a 5.6-mile-long, 25 kilo-volt (kV) transmission line. The project would have an estimated average annual generation of 29.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh), and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Kentucky River Lock & Dam No. 6, as directed by the Corps.

Lock Hydro's Project No. 14187-000 would consist of: (1) One lock frame modules, the frame module will be 45-feet long, 20-feet-high and contain four generating units with a total combined capacity of 2.5 MW; (2) a new switchyard containing a transformer; and (3) a proposed 3.0-mile-long, 115 kV transmission line to an existing distribution line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 10.957 GWh, and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Kentucky River Lock & Dam No. 6, as directed by the Corps.

FFP 55's Project No. 14199-000 would consist of: (1) An 460-foot-long, 140-foot-wide approach channel; (2) a powerhouse, located on the northwestern side of the dam, containing two generating units with a total capacity of 4.5 MW; (3) a 300-foot-long, 120-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a 4.16/25 KV substation; and (5) a 3.0-mile-long, 25 kV transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 22.0 GWh, and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Kentucky River Lock & Dam No. 6, as directed by the Corps.
